Bowlby Theory of Attachment (4 Stages)
- Preattachment (birth to 6 weeks)
- Attachment-in-the-making (6 weeks to 6 months)
- Clear Cut Attachment (6 months to 18 months)
- Reciprocal Relationships (18 months on)
What study and by who tested the measurement of attachment
Ainsworth and Strange Situation
4 Patterns of Attachment
- Secure (65% of kids in us)-mother is secure base; separation anxiety; reunion is comforted by mother; Is not comforted by stranger
- Avoidant-no separation anxiety; ueunion child doesn’t care; mom is not a secure base
- Ambivalent-resistant- children are clingy and stay close to their caregiver rather then exploring the environment; uncomfortable when caregiver leaves, stranger doesn’t calm them, neither reunion calms them
- Disorganizaed/disoriented attachment-insecure attachment in which kids have no consistent way of coping with stree of SS; often appear dazed or confused
Learning Theories
external factors shape personality and social behavior
ex albert bandura
Attachment-
strong emotional bond that emerges between infant and caregiver (usually mom)
Theories of Attachment
- psychoanalytic theory (freud)
- learning theory (Drive reduction explanation)
Phonolgical Development
gaining knowledge about the sound system of language
Phoneme
the smallest units of sound that change the meanings of words
-diff between mop and pop is cause by difference between 2 phonomes [m] and [p]
Phonoly
production of sounds
- cooing vowel like utterances
- babbling consonant vowel utterances
Semantics
how do parents learn the meanings of words
- labeling: parents provide label; must have joint attention with parent
- mutually exclusivity bias: unfamiliar words label new objects (each object gets 1 label)
- whole object bias: when think of bike don’t think about the pedals or handlebars they think of the object as a whole (very useful)
Syntax
rules pertaining to the structure of language (how words are combined)
ex: “no bed” -I don’t want to go to bed
Overregularization
inappropriate application of systematic rules
ex: “he goed” instead of he went
pragmatics
rules for using language effectivitely in social context
- turn taking
- different situations call for form of syntax
- talking to teacher vs other students
- talking to parents vs. friends
Semantic Development
the learning of the system for expressing meaning in a language
syntactic development
the learning of the syntax of a language
pragmatic development
the acquisition of knowledge about how language is used
metalinguistic knowledge
understanding the properties and function of language
Critical Period for language
Idea that language is harder to learn after first 5 months of life
Infant Directed Talk
special kind of talk that can be reconginized that a person is talking to a baby
language acquisition requires what two things
Human brain and human environment
Prosody
the tempo or rhythm that a language is spoken with
Babbling
takes place around 6 to 10 months of age; producing syllables made up of a consonant followed by a vowel that are repeated in strings; key component is for kids to hear the sounds they are producing; gradually shapes to the rhythm and sounds of the language they are exposed to
Style
strategies that young children enlist in beginning to speak
referential or analytic style
speech strategy that analyzes the speech stream into individual phonetic elements and words; use isolated and monosyllabic words
